1) iPhoto has got to be at the list of candidates for managing  
photos.  Why is that not good enough.  What are you trying to do?

2) QPict is another well known Mac photo & video catalog program.   
It's very reasonable in price and features.

3) Shoebox.  Here is one I use but don't recommend.  I really like the  
heirarchical keyword system it has for categorizing photos but iPhoto  
does some of that now.  Pros: Uses two monitors well, if your system  
has them, reasonable price, keyword system. Cons: Can't do a simple  
slide show correctly, doesn't work well with Spotlight comments.  The  
author has been unresponsive to complaints about these flaws though he  
did release a Leopard compatible version.

4) Lightbox - "Personal Image Management for Mac"  no knowledge.   
Anybody use this?  Opinions?

5) Extensis - Digital Asset Managment, which means expensive because  
it's "professional"

6) Lightroom - Adobe's photo manager has some nice features, mid  
priced, more that just catalog.

7) Aperature - Again, more that a catalog, higher priced.


What other products are there?  What do most folks use?
